Its certainly possible and it wouldn't surprise me however I'm still not quite sold on that.

Remember she warned him countless times of "knives in the dark" and counseled him to always keep his wolf close. There just isn't any evidence that she masterminded the assassination.

I've grown to the point that I don't even want her near Jon if he lives. We can just go along with the thought that Ygritte was his Nissa Nissa or something. I'd gladly overlook any inconsistencies with that to avoid a Jon/Dany hookup.

quote:Burning shafts hissed upward, trailing tongues of fire. Scarecrow brothers tumbled down, black cloaks ablaze. "Snow," an eagle cried, as foemen scuttled up the ice like spiders. Jon was armored in black ice, but his blade burned red in his fist. As the dead men reached the top of the Wall he sent them down to die again. He slew a greybeard and a beardless boy, a giant, a gaunt man with filed teeth, a girl with thick red hair. Too late he recognized Ygritte. She was gone as quick as she’d appeared.

Foreshadowing? I think maybe so.

Also, something that I've thought about. But why was Bowen Marsh crying when he stabbed Jon? He didn't have any real emotional attachment to him. And if you think about, there were comments about smoke rising from the blades that stabbed him and tears are technically salt water. Then you have Ser Patrek being torn to shreds over top of him, fulfilling the "Under a bleeding star.." portion to a degree.

Seriously, Dany is definitely one of the most disappointing characters to me because she has soooooooooooooooo much potential and has just been incessantly lingering and bitching. I almost hoped her period was the bloody flux and that her arse was Dothraki grass at that point.

Maybe she dies and the dragons fly to the only potential Targs left in the realm (Aegon or Jon).
